formed 09: vorwolf - snake's eyes

michael vorfeld and christian wolfarth are both engaged in a wide range of contemporary music projects; as a duo they display the sort of relaxed precision that marks great improvised music. both performers have naturalized their techniques as percussionists to the point where they handily toss the fruit of their extended techniques towards, near, and in the absolute opposite direction of each other while maintaining a coherent logic throughout.

hiddenbell (switzerland) #hb 01 ep

christian wolfarth “acoustic solo percussion • vol. 1” seven inch single record

skyscraping (6:32)
zirr (4:30)

2009 release ; first in a quartet of singles, self-issued by swiss percussionist christian wolfarth, recorded & manufactured in collaboration with rachad becker, covering his interference-based real-time acoustic drum-kit compositions ...

first up we get a gorgeous, 6-minute study for activated resonant surfaces (i’m guessing bowed bass drum) ; comes across as rich & dense as ellen fullman / paul panhuysen / et.al’s “long string music” ... second piece sounds like an automated / motorized snare drum piece, rife with a nice, buzzing background sonority that sounds not unlike japanese temple bells ... quite nice.

red vinyl “large hole” single ...

p!?015 - christian wolfarth / enrico malatesta "mirrors" cd

there is not a lot to say when a young talented percussionist meet one of the master of improvised music, also percussionist ; we can just sit and listen what happens. this is what exactly did the guys at cosabeat studio during "mirrors" recording session. the result is incredible. you can really feel the musicians concentration and then understand the importance of every sound they created. this is a focused, brilliant, top class "sound dialogue" between two of the most dedicated artist i have ever met.
